Primes¶
- Metonymy
- In software this maps to pointer-safety reasoning — lifetimes, ownership, reference counting are all disciplines for preserving the contiguity between handle and referent.
This sourceExplains ownership, lifetimes, borrowing, and the use-after-free hazard — disciplines for keeping a reference valid while its referent lives.

Domain-specific¶
- Pointer
- Typed pointer disciplines — Rust's borrow checker, C++ smart pointers, Java's reference types with garbage collection — exist to enforce the invariant that a dereference never reaches a referent whose lifetime has ended, though only Rust's references also exclude null, while a C++ smart pointer or a Java reference can still be null
This sourceRust's guarantee that references are always valid, never dangling and never null. The borrow checker's compile-time exclusion of dangling references and shared mutable aliasing, and its conservative rejection of some valid programs.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
